Every Installment from This Blockbuster Franchise Is Now Available To Stream on Hulu
Fans of science fiction-infused horror are in for a treat. Just wait till you get a load of this. Every film from a popular franchise that straddles the sci-fi and horror genres has landed on Hulu. The franchise of which I speak has generated a whopping $1.2 billion at the global box office and taken home multiple Academy Awards over the past 40+ years. If you haven’t guessed, I’m talking about the Alien franchise.
Now, when I say that all of the Alien films are on Hulu, I mean that all of those Alien films are on Hulu. We’re not just talking about core series installments here. In addition to the first film and all of the sequels, every prequel and crossover effort is also available to stream on the platform. That’s right; even the Alien vs. Predator flicks are streaming. So, if you’re a Hulu subscriber and you’re looking to embark on a complete franchise rewatch, you can do just that. In fact, maybe you should. The world is a chaotic place right now, and the Alien series is like comfort food to a lot of horror fans, myself included.
Here is the setup for the franchise at large:
Alien is a science fiction horror and action media franchise centered on the original film series which depicts warrant officer Ellen Ripley( Sigourney Weaver) and her battles with an extraterrestrial life-form, commonly referred to as the Alien (“Xenomorph”), and the prequel series following the exploits of the David 8 android (Michael Fassbender) and the aliens referred to as the “Engineers”.
It’s an undisputed fact that the franchise contains some absolute bangers. The first two films are beyond reproach. In fact, they stand among a select few horror films to take home an Oscar statuette. Alien won the award for Best Visual Effects at the 1980 Academy Awards. The Academy also nominated the 1979 picture for Best Art Direction. Aliens was nominated for seven Oscars and won for both Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Visual Effects. Quite the impressive haul if you ask me.
Well, that is just about all that we have for you at present. Make sure to keep an eye out for more important updates on where to stream your favorite horror franchises as we uncover them. In the meantime, if you’d like to keep up with me on social media, you can find me on Threads @FunWithHorror.
